The Associated Press released this article yesterday regarding holiday travel, particularly over Thanksgiving. If you are going to be on the road (and some 50 million of you will), it is well worth...

Before you think that chains are going to solve all, or even any, of the problems with driving on snow or ice, I highly recommend that you read this previous thread and the articles it links to.

As with the weather, I can't answer that. You're looking for hard and fast answers to very nebulous questions with way too many parameters. The best advice I can give you is to get off the road as...

It is simply too early to give you any precise information about which roads to take in January of next year if weather is a major, or even minor, concern. The fact is that weather forecasts even a...

There are so many variables involved in the pricing of car rentals that it's hard to give you any hard and fast rules. But a few good general strategies...

That is... The more things change, the more they remain the same. Your trip hasn't really changed all that much. It is still a RoadTrip from Portland through the Cascades and back to Portland. The...

I wrote a longer treatise on this a few years back but the main points bear repeating. Chains are NOT a cure-all for winter driving. If anything, they make things worse because they give an...

Between "Mississippi" (I used Jackson as a starting point) and Seattle, there are two main options for routing. They are almost exactly the same number...

The only on-line reference to these closures indicates that they should have ended this spring (2023). There is no mention on the ADOT website of any continuing closures of state rest areas except...

"I been in the right place, But it must have been the wrong [time]." June is when tourists really start to flock to the Yellowstone area as the weather finally becomes tolerable and schools have let...

Montana runs its 'Winter Reporting Season' from November through April. Winter snow closures in Oregon have occurred as early as mid-November. One would...

Would you like to share something of the purpose of, or activities on, the trip?

The 'app' I use is me!! It may be because I was born before there were computers, grew up on paper maps and AAA TripTiks, and have always allowed for a...

While I would still highly recommend the sites/sights I listed originally, here are a couple more that might not be on your radar. One would be Pennsylvania 'Dutch' Country, roughly around Bird in...

We really don't believe in a generic list of 'must see stops' that apply to every traveler, so, I had a look at some of your past posts to get an idea of what appeals to you. That seems to be natural...

As noted, my wife and I have visited the Biltmore. It was definitely a stop more up her alley than mine. She loves both stately homes and gardens. But her interest in homes is more of a way of...

I think there's a lot to like about your plan. Most people would ignore that northerly 'detour' to see some of the Rockies. But I would strongly suggest that you head for Cameron rather than Page for...

The obvious place for a meal break between Hampton NH and Wells ME is in/around Portsmouth NH, the largest town on that section. There are lots of choices, but may I recommend a semi-famous lobster...

There actually aren't a whole lot of roads to choose from between those two points other than the road I-59 'replaced', US-11. Once you've reached Tuscaloosa, AL-69 does offer a backroad...

One thing that should be pointed out here is that the Amish are not a tourist attraction. They are neither a museum nor are they costumed re-enactors. Visitors should at all times respect the life...

If St. Louis is out due to the lack of direct flights, then have a look at flying in and out of Atlanta. There are direct flights both ways between Heathrow and Hartsfield. They are a bit more costly...

Let's deal with Asheville first since that seems to be where you seem to be planning on spending a fair amount of time. My wife and I have been there and have very pleasant memories of a lovely town...

BTW - Going through 'Reply' or 'Reply With Quote' and then 'Go Advanced' is the only way I've seen of giving your reply a title, as this reply has.

Having lived on or near the seacoast of both New Hampshire and Maine, and commuted from there to the Philadelphia area, I am familiar with the roads you'll be driving on.

First up, I agree with...

Donna, having lived within a half day's drive of Williamsburg it was always something I could do mañana, until I moved away and couldn't anymore. Clearly I missed out and will make sure to get to it...
